Could think of another title,but better not :laughing: .


I think foward control looks better,in my opinion.

I agree Dave,very smart,would be even smarter without that 5-barred gate hung on the front. :laughing:

It would fetch a bit for scrap Chris :wink:
Cheers Dave.

Dave the Renegade:

Most of these still look as good if not better than the modern stuff.

Hi Paul,
Did meet several members of this site.Andrew aka pete359 I’d met before a couple of times.Met Martyn aka sammy dog,Neil aka mechanic77,Rowley Ward,Graham aka ec14.We also a met a member who lives near here atkidave inside the building.
Was talking to a few people that I know away from TNUK John Weaver who I’ve known for well over fifty years and his nephew Steve. I told them about this site,so you never know they might join.There’s probably a couple more that we met,but can’t remember off the top of my head.
It was an excellent show,as I’ve said before.Acredit to the organisers.
Cheers Dave.

Good pic’s Tony,are the Cargo and tractor yours ?
Cheers Dave.


Two from different times from the same firm.

No it would be nice too have it .I only have a car . I don’t even know the name of the person who owns it. It is parked by the Steam Wagon pub in Shrewsbury. My dad would have liked the little grey fergie he alwas had a soft sport for them. Mind you it was the birth of proper tractors that we have now. The three point link back end. Tony

Thats right Tony,drove a few of those Ferguson T20’s in my youth helping out of local farms.They were OK in the summer,but freezing in the winter.A nice reliable little tractor.There are several restored one’s still around here.
Cheers Dave.


Not a lot to choose between those two,both look good.


A Swede from each camp :exclamation:
